Forecast for the Moab Area Mountains
Friday, December 11, 2015
The avalanche danger is generally LOW, but you may be some newly formed, isolated wind slabs from the strong southerly winds yesterday. Look for them on the lee sides of terrain features, in more extreme terrain above tree line on steep slopes with a N-NE-E aspect. There also still may be isolated areas where it is possible to trigger a persistent slab avalanche, primarily on steep, upper elevation slopes that face the north half of the compass. Suspect slopes with more radical terrain and distinctive terrain features such as gullies, rock bands, or convex break overs. With some new snow in the forecast, the danger could rise to MODERATE by tomorrow.
